Built for this water
Parthenope
The reference blend, built for the middle of the spread. In Naples that is the high ground — the Vomero, Posillipo, Chiaiano, the Sanità — where the water sits near 21 French degrees. Dense, dark, long on the tongue. If your water lands in the middle, start here and do not move.
See the blend →Against the SCA target zone
At its softest, Bari sits 1.7× above the top of the zone the SCA Water Chart marks as its target (2.8–6.2 °dH). Read that as a distance, not a verdict: the chart maps taste outcomes, it does not grade cities.
The same number, three ways
- °dH
- 10.7–13.5 °dH
- °f
- 19–24 °f
- ppm CaCO₃
- 190–240 ppm
German utilities publish °dH, French and Italian ones °f, British and Irish ones ppm CaCO₃. Same water, three conventions — worth knowing if you compare your city with one abroad.
Of the 47 cities we publish, Bari ranks 22nd by hardness.
